Patch

A patch is the combination settings and connections used to gain a particular sound, sometimes also known as a program. Modular synthesizers use patch cables to connect the different sound modules together. Originally since there was no memory to save settings, musicians wrote down the locations of the patch cables and knob positions on a "patch sheet" (which usually showed a diagram of the synthesizer). Ever since, an overall sound setting for any type of synthesizer has been known as a patch.

Books
